A bronze band, cast in a mould rather than drawn, and the toughest of the common rings. Bronze survives the sort of labour that would flatten a silver band, so it is worn by smiths, drovers, and soldiers who would rather not lose a month’s wages to a careless blow. The alloy takes a warm yellow shine when polished and a dull green skin when it is not.
Ring, bronze
